Kinesiology and Health Promotion: FAQ

  • Can I search for articles within a particular journal using the article databases?
    • Usually this is possible if a journal is indexed by a database, although techniques may vary:
      • Factiva: Search the Publications Library.  Scroll down and click on Change Publications button.  Click on Remove All, to remove the default search choices.  Look up the publication and then select it from the results box and click add.  Click done.
      • SportDiscus, Academic Search Elite: Specify the journal on the search screen, e.g., Source: Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport
      • ERIC (FirstSearch): Use the advanced search option and search or browse the journal name in the Source (exact phrase) index or the Source (keyword) index.  You can add a subject using the other search boxes, or go back to the Search screen and click on History to combine sets.
      • Lexis/Nexis: Look for the journal name in the Sources list linked from the first page. You will then be given an option to search just this title.
      • PubMed: Use the Journal Browser and enter the name of the journal.   Click on the hyperlinked Medline Abbreviation to make a set of all articles from this journal.  This set can then be combined with subject searches using the History link.
